Microsoft Hides Fingerprint Sensor in Modern Keyboard

Microsoft quietly adds a pair of peripherals to its online storefront-- the Modern Keyboard and Modern Mouse, both featuring Bluetooth 4.0 allowing use with any device compatible with the wireless standard.

The Modern Keyboard has a low profile aluminium frame Microsoft claims is "virtually indestructible" while matching the sleek design of the Surface product line. It can be used with either wireless or wired connection, has a built-in battery promising up to 2 months on a single charge, and is compatible with Windows 10, MacOS, iOS and Android devices.

Logitech announces a pair of flagship wireless mice-- the MX Master 2S and MX Anywhere 2S, both featuring support for the new Flow software, allowing users to control up to 3 PCs using one mouse.

"One computer used to be enough, but we’ve moved into an era where roughly one in 10 people are working across multiple computers at the same time," the company claims. “Using multiple computers can help you avoid distractions and speed up processor-intensive operations, but working across multiple computers can be a hassle...
